Here’s what the study, from Harvard and Columbia scientists, reported:
- People over age 60 who took a daily multivitamin for three years improved their ability to immediately recall items on a cognitive test by 12% compared to their baseline.
- The benefit translates to a slowing of age-related memory issues of about three years.
- People with heart disease who took multivitamins showed the biggest improvements in memory compared to those without heart issues.
